Spring-a-licious

Here is my latest dyeing/carding. Longwool Leicester fleece and "silk latte" both from Cheryl. Dyed in same pot, a la Cheryl. I think I will call it Cheryl's Spring?

Now, before you go imagining me gazing at my vase of tulips, being struck by their beauty and rushing to the dye pot to methodically recreate their subtle shades of pink, let me tell you a dirty little secret: I was shooting for red. This is what you get when you don't measure your fiber or your dye and just huck it all in a pot thinking "this should work". However, I LOVE what came out, even though I'm not really a pink person. So I kept it. No shawl photos until tomorrow, assuming its moderately bright out - I tried last night after work and it just looks like ass in every shot.
